Relaunch

I have lost my mind,

I have lost my grind,

And it's only because I fight hard, to be one of a kind.

I took a sabbatical,

And didn’t think of it as problematical.

But the interviews that followed were quite methodical.

I stayed back to take care of my kids,

From then on, I watched my career skid.

Nothing mattered to them... what I said or did.

Roles in life I’ve played of Mentor and mentee,

With feedback being received without asking in plenty.

But with passing time, I was made to feel empty.

I won’t succeed is what they had placed on a bet,

It doesn’t matter though as I was never my teacher’s pet.

So, I will soldier on and won’t hang my gloves yet.

It’s tough to achieve everything we desire,

As the time we have, is between birth and the funeral pyre.

O God, thinking about this just makes me want to retire.

Got to shake it off, and not just pack lunch but even a punch,

Attitude cannot be in single now, better get a bunch.

And get ready for a relaunch but before flying, let me take that lunge.
